Addison Fox: Fall Favorites

I’m a sucker for fall. The cooler weather, new clothing that actually
has sleeves and the chance to leave my windows open to catch the breeze are all
hallmarks of the changing season and I love each and every one of them. My mood
changes when fall arrives, too. I hunker down a bit more as the end of the year
begins to move into my sights.

Have I completed what I wanted to? Accomplished my goals for the year?

My excitement grows along with the questions since fall also signals
the gathering holidays. Pumpkin flavored everything
has invaded the store shelves and before you know it we’ll be cooking turkeys
and wrapping presents.

I’m always amazed what I accomplish in my writing in the fall as well.
New ideas seem as crisp as fresh apples and I’m always busy jotting down bits
of story or short character sketches that I know I’ll come back to.

I’m getting ready to start a new project and while I’m incredibly
excited about that one, I’ve already begun to think a few books ahead. A new
hero has caught my attention and I keep telling him to shut up and marinate in
the recesses of my brain for a while as I work on a different hero who was
equally yummy all on his own six months ago (while – yep, you guessed it – I
was working on a different book!)

For me, writing is a lot like the seasons. Each book brings new
challenges and new discoveries. Finishing one book is like the end of a season
rolling around. I am definitely sorry to say good-bye but I’m excited for the
new scenery and fresh story. After all, part of the fun in life is looking
forward to what’s still to come. Writing is surprisingly similar.

So what do you think? Are you a fan of fall? And if not, what’s your
favorite season and why?

Thanks for joining me today!

XOXO,

Addison
